From the PR:
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 4 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems Inc.(NasdaqNM:CSCO - news), the No. 1 maker of gear that helps to power the Internet, said on Wednesday that slow sales of an optical router had prompted it to discontinue making that device found at the core of optical networks.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this device supposed to solve bottleneck problems that existing fast core routers have right now?

Juniper does not have any products for the optical space.
It is a single product company focused only on the core
routers for service providers. A while back they were
rumors of Juniper buying Redback but that never materialized.

In short they are more exposed to the downturn in SP segment.

ps: if they buy Ciena (or merge) that will be a great combination...
